The FBI is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest in connection with a 2012 robbery of a Walmart in Laurel, according to a news release.

FBI agents said the robbery occurred the morning of Nov. 14, 2012 at the Walmart located in the 3500 block of Russett Green East in Laurel.

The release said the robber forced the night manager into an office and had him stuff cash from a safe into a trash can.

The manager was then forced to load the trash can into a van parked in front of the store, according to the release. The robber then shot the manager in the arm and drove off, according to the FBI.

The manager was not seriously injured.

The store manager described the robber as a man with medium-tone skin, about 5 feet 6 inches and weighing 120 pounds. The news release said the man was wearing a blue knit hat with white snowflakes on it, as well as a scarf and a hooded sweatshirt.

If anyone has information regarding the robbery, they are asked to call the Baltimore FBI at 410-265-8080.
